Need advice on how to remove fuel lines

In the process of an engine removal, I came across a small problem. Damn fuel lines don't feel like coming off. Anyone have any hints on how i can get them off in such a cramped space???

Grab them gently with a pair of pliers and twist back and forth to break them loose from the fitting. they will usually come off pretty easy after that.
